Very saddened to hear of the passing of Chris Verstappen, owner and operator of Technical Diving Services at Captain Don's Habitat in Bonaire.
Chris was one of the first instructors I worked with when I started working in diving and l learned a lot from him, both in water and how to run a dive shop. And not to forget enjoying the good banter over coffee after a day of hard work. Work hard but have fun!
He also lighted a little fire in me starting the path to become a technical diver and I was always hoping to some day dive the windjammer with him.
Chris leaves behind his wife Astrid, and will be sorely missed by family and his many diving friends over the world. Our thoughts are with them in these difficult times.
